I hope you’ve enjoyed this series on shopping the Feng Shui way. You have probably learned more about yourself and your friends.
When I work with my clients, I help them discover their essence. By using the essences, my clients begin to relax into who they are and begin to understand and accept why they do the things they do or prefer the things that they do. It is freeing and eye-opening.
These characteristics show up in your shopping, your closet, your home and wardrobe. This is the beauty of Feng Shui you reveal your authentic self in the process. All the suggestions I have provided are tips to be implemented in every day of your life. If you’re reading this for the first time, please go back and start with the Water Philosopher essence, Wood Pioneer essence, Fire Pleasure Seeker and Earth Peacemaker… but first read on about the Metal Perfectionist gal.
The Metal Perfectionist gal, loves to be organized! She is extremely sensitive to her environment and clutter drives her mad. Now, this doesn’t mean she is OCD, rather she prefers order in her life. She enjoys, high-end quality artwork, clothes, jewelry, homes and prefers quality over quantity. She tends to shop name brand stores, but don’t be fooled, she’ll take a bargain anytime. You may be surprised to learn that even shops like Home Goods are on her list. I know this from my clients! Her craft is that she finds good quality pieces at bargain prices, so she can spend her money on fun like entertainment and dining out!
In fashion, she always dresses in a style that is classic and form fitting. She detests anything that lacks structure or high quality material. The Metal gal is the one that is coordinated from head to toe and makes you so mad, because even her bag matches her outfit!
Her mantra? Quality. Clean. Beautiful.
If organization is her passion than there’s only one store for that…Container Store! From closet to kitchen organizing tools they’ve got everything for the organized gal. I suggest a gift card to the Container Store.
For high quality, name brand gifts with bargain prices, Head to Lord & Taylor. Don’t forget your coupons!
I mentioned Anthropologie in the Water essence blog but the household items are perfect for the Metal Perfectionist gal who loves elegance and dainty decor. Don’t forget to check out their weekly sale section.
How cool is this? A coated steel weekly calender stand. Its elegant, refined and clutter free!
I also love Om Aroma ( I’m friends with the owner Angelia Jia Kim) because they are all organic, even their spa in NYC! They use high-end organic quality ingredients that feel good on your skin and don’t hurt the environment.
“Take time Basket” some thing we all need!
Again, I’ve been mentioning in previous blogs about giving gifts of time spent together. I can’t emphasize this enough… everyone appreciates enjoying an event or a night out doing something fun with a friend. So, if you are really stumped, just call up your friend and make a date! Or if this person lives too far or its too hard to sync your schedules, then give a gift certificate to a museum, concert, or something you know they really like.
Remember, the Metal Perfectionist gal hates, clutter! The best gift is an organized closet! My offer is still available to buy one 1-hour Virtual Feng Shui session and get an hour free to gift to your friend. Just remember to enter code 241FRIEND. This just might be the best gift ever for the Metal essence!
I hope you enjoyed this series. Please know I’ve only chipped away at the 5 essence and there is so much more to learn. If you want a customized look at who you are and how you could change your environment, space or wardrobe based on your essence, please take a look at my services and see what session might be right for you. I would love to work with you!
Happy Holidays and best of luck as you finish your shopping!
